| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Stenocercus johaberfellneri differs from all other congeners except S. latebrosus and S. ornatissimus by the combination of having (1) a well developed oblique neck fold with a deep mite pocket underneath; (2) a well developed antehumeral fold with a deep mite pocket underneath; (3) scales on posterior surface of thighs granular; (4) vertebral scales similar in size and shape to adjacent scale rows; (5) three caudal whorls per autotomic segment. Stenocercus johaberfellneri differs from S. latebrosus by having lateral nuchals less than half the size of dorsal nuchals (vs. lateral nuchals similar in size to dorsal nuchals in S. latebrosus). Stenocercus johaberfellneri differs from S. ornatissimus by having larger dorsal scales, 47–53, mean 50.0, vertebral scales (vs. dorsal scales smaller, 52–59, mean 55.4, vertebral scales in S. ornatissimus), 46–53, mean 49.2, scales around midbody (vs. 49–60, mean 52.6, in S. ornatissimus), the presence of a postfemoral pocket (Type 2 of Torres-Carvajal 2007) in adult males (vs. postfemoral pocket absent in S. ornatissimus), a throat pattern of bold black streaks or reticulations in adult males (vs. throat with small black spots or fine reticulations in S. ornatissimus), and a dusky or grayish venter without black spots or reticulations (vs. at least some black spots on pectoral region and anterior abdomen, often entire venter with small black spots in S. ornatissimus). |
| Comment | Sympatry: Epictia alfredschmidti, Philodryas simonsii, and Sibynomorphus petersi (misidentified as S. vagus in Lehr 2002 and Lehr et al. 2002 as pointed out by Cadle 2007). Abundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). |
| Etymology | The name johaberfellneri is a patronym for Johannes Haber Fellner, Germany, in recognition of his support of taxonomic studies through the BIOPAT program. |
